Join us on our running adventure through the 15 UK National Parks, discovering the Physics of our Great Outdoors

Southern Routes

After many discussions about logistics and routes, we agreed to start our challenge in the south of the UK. Our plan is to warm ourselves up for the mountains of the north. However, having looked in detail at some of the route profiles; particularly that of the Exmoor Coastal Path, some southern routes may actually prove to be more demanding! The slideshow below gives you a brief overview of what we have in store.

With the beautiful wetlands of the Norfolk Broads, the undulating hills of the South Downs Way and the majestic woodlands of the great New Forest, we can’t wait to get going.

About Park Discoverers

During September 2016, fellow Physics teachers, Claire Aspinall and Pam Ellison, have put teaching aside to run an off-road marathon in each of the 15 United Kingdom National Parks. In collaboration with the National Parks, they will spend time collecting information on how the Science curriculum can be brought to life in these special places. Covering a wide range of Physics applications, they are hoping to take measurements during and between their runs, using lightweight equipment. They will be sharing their discoveries through blog posts and tweets, with the aim to educate, inspire and inform others.
